Counter-Strike: Condition Zero

It could have been so much more, but great A.I. bots and proven gameplay still make it worth checking out. Read Review

Counter-Strike: Condition Zero (CS:CZ), a tactical action game, challenges you to compete with and against cunning AI opponents in mission-based campaigns spread across the globe. As squad leader of an elite counter-terrorist operative, use specialized maneuvers and weapon skills to complete over 20 new missions, each containing numerous objectives. Drop into challenging scenarios -- from harsh jungle environments to severe arctic terrains, from unforgiving deserts to dangerous international city streets. Rescue hostages. Escort VIPs to safety. Locate and defuse bombs. This collection of entirely new episodes challenges your ability to think quickly and strategically. Features highly-detailed models, atmospheric enhancements such as snow and rain, and many more dynamic special effects.

Counter-Strike: Condition Zero will probably always be most remembered as the game with the horribly convoluted development cycle. Announced nearly three years ago, Condition Zero suffered delay after delay as it was passed off from one developer to another. Along the way, a whole version of the game was canned, only to return in the finished product under the ignominious heading "Deleted Scenes." So, what do you get after all that trouble and pain? In essence, the same Counter-Strike mod for Half-Life you can download for free, but with one important addition: the ability to play offline against some impressive A.I. bots. It's hard to get excited about yet another version of a five-year-old mod, but Condition Zero is still a good choice for Counter-Strike newbies or regular players looking for some quick offline practice.
